Do you want to drain water from the dryer using the water container?

When you use a [drying] cycle, condensed water from wet laundry will be drained through the drain hose.
If you want to use a water container instead, then separate the drain hose from the dryer so that water is not directly drained via the drain hole.
Then connect the water container hose.
If the location of the dryer (e.g. inside a room) makes direct drainage difficult, use a water container instead.

Wait! Find out more.

Depending on the dryer model and capacity, different connection methods will be used.
